The Crescent City Connection is once again ready for its close-up. A film production will use the eastbound HOV lanes of the local bridge Sunday morning through to Monday morning, according to a city-issued advisory.

The Times-Picayune archiveDepartment of Transportation and Development officials say they have plans on how to operate the Crescent City Connection when tolls expire in 2012.

Filming will begin at 3 a.m. Sunday (March 11) and continue through to 5 a.m. Monday (March 12), according to an advisory issued by the city's film office. Regular travels lanes will not be disrupted.

Crescent City Connection Police will be on-hand for the duration of the shoot. Motorists can call the police department's office at 504.376.8180 with questions or concerns.

The Crescent City Connection has proven to be a popular shooting location for local film crews since the state in 2002 adopted its filmmaking tax incentives. In fact, it can be seen onscreen next in the locally shot action-comedy "21 Jump Street," due in theaters next Friday (March 16).
